/AI-Powered Design & Development
I’m Sam, a freelance product designer helping startups, SaaS teams and agencies in the US and beyond apply AI to design, development and digital products.
From AI-assisted exploration to integrated product features, I combine hands-on design and development with human review. The focus is a useful experience, not AI for its own sake.
/Two ways to work with AI
/01 AI-assisted design
Explore concepts, organize research inputs and build prototypes with AI as a supporting tool. I review the outputs, check assumptions and bring the work back to real user needs.
/02 AI-assisted development
Turn ideas into working prototypes and product interfaces with AI-supported development. Generated code still needs review, testing and refinement before it is ready to ship.
/03 AI features for products
Design and build assistants, intelligent search and AI-supported workflows around a clear use case. Make inputs, outputs and the next action understandable to the people using them.
/04 Workflow automation
Connect repetitive steps across tools, content and internal processes. Define where automation helps, where people stay in control and how errors should be handled.
/Design for an AI product
AItaca
UX/UI design for an AI body-measurement product. The project spans the sizing experience, a design system and a responsive interface that makes a technical capability easier to use.
/Start with the problem. Not the model.
A focused process to decide where AI belongs, make the experience tangible and review the result before taking it further.
/01 Define the use case
We identify the user need, available data and constraints. Together we agree on a focused scope, success criteria and whether AI is the right approach.
/02 Prototype & evaluate
We explore the interaction and build a working prototype. Review realistic examples, unexpected outputs and fallback paths before committing to a wider implementation.
/03 Build with oversight
Develop and test the agreed solution with attention to data privacy, provider costs and failure states. Define what needs human review and what ongoing maintenance involves.
Where could AI make your product more useful?
Tell me about your product or workflow and what you want to improve. We’ll discuss a practical first step, the constraints and where human judgment needs to stay involved.
